The human body is made up of over 3 billion pieces of genetic code, and each of us has millions of tiny DNA variants that make us unique. It is no wonder that two people with the same diagnosis may be on entirely different diet plans or react completely differently to medication.
When examining these DNA variants, it is essential to tailor your metabolic treatment plan to your individual needs. The way you detoxify, repair DNA, and your immune system's ability to recognize cancer are all influenced by these genetic differences.
You are handed a genetic blueprint from your parents, but it is up to you to decide how you live each day to ensure those genes stay healthy and protective. These variants do not change, but how they are expressed depends on lifestyle choices.
I’m sharing the three genetic variants that you should be aware of to support your health and stay in remission.
MTHFR affects methylation, which is crucial for cellular repair, detoxification, hormone balance, neurotransmitter production, and immune regulation.
COMT affects how your body breaks down stress hormones and estrogen, influencing anxiety, energy, and the risk of estrogen-related cancers.
GST affects how your body produces glutathione, the master antioxidant that protects against toxins and helps your body recover from stress and therapies.
Understanding MTHFR, COMT, and GST helps you see how your body detoxifies, manages stress, and repairs itself. You have more control than you think. These genes make up only a small part of the picture, and lifestyle choices make up the rest.
